Ancelotti: “The problem this season is obvious: we lost two basic players”

The trainer of Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti spoke to the media before the team Getafe in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez competed against a crucial week in the team’s campaign. He also spoke about the challenges of this season and said: “The problems this season are obvious: we have lost two basic players on the back that were difficult to replace. We changed the game for players with different properties, and it was difficult to find the balance. Let’s hope that we can find it now. If we can’t find it, it will be difficult for us to win.”

Ancelotti about Getafe

“We all know how Getafe plays, an intensive style, very well organized. A strong team with very clear ideas. We are ready, because the closer to the end of the season, the more important the games are for all teams.”

Ancelotti about Kylian Mbappé and Ferland Mendys fitness

“You are not ready for tomorrow, but you will train nowadays and I think you will both be available for the game on Saturday.”

Ancelotti about whether he will turn against Getafe

“The line -up of tomorrow will take into account the wear from Sunday evening and only that. Some are still a little tired, but it is quite normal. We will see tomorrow.”

Ancelotti about whether he would go, even if Real Madrid would win the doubles

“Everything is possible in football. Everything can happen.”

Ancelotti about whether he wants to take revenge next year

“Really, I have no revenge on someone and something against anything. I love this bank. It can last as long as possible and if it ends one day, thank you, take my hat in this club. This is all.”

Ancelotti about Mbappé’s reaction to the pipe

“He violates the injury because he cannot help the team. He does everything to be available on Saturday.”

Ancelotti about what has changed with Endrick

“Nothing. He is going very well and he now has more awareness because there are also games in which we need its strength and quality.”

Ancelotti about whether winning the COPA wins the league

“The two titles we have at the game that do not take into account the World Cup depend on striking Barcelona. This is the only doubt that we don’t have at the moment. We have to overcome the next game well and concentrate on the Cup final. We are confident that we can do it and we can achieve it. We have to change something and we will change it in this sense.”

Ancelotti about whether he is calmer after the defeat of Arsenal

“The club is aware that it was a more complicated year than last year. And together we avoid the difficulties. The honeymoon continues. I am very happy, very happy, with a lot of pressure, but this is always the case. They see success very close and it is normal that stress is increasing, but stress is for me, but it doesn’t bother me.

Ancelotti about whether he could have been more difficult for the players

“In Italy, when they have problems, they say that they are left -handed. It also happened in the first time when I was here. I try to manage the relationship with the people for whom I am. In a relationship you have to show what you are. In this season I often got angry. My relationship with people on the same level. I am not able to use the whip.

Ancelotti about planning the next season

“Here we have never thought about obligations during the season. The association always thinks of obligations at the end of the season.”

Ancelotti about what he would have thought about this result at the beginning of the season

“That could be done better, it could be done better. Some mistakes that I have to be responsible. But this is an assessment that we can do at the end of the season, and hopefully this consideration will be taken into account.”

Ancelotti less calm than Barcelona

“I don’t complain about it. It is something that can happen, we couldn’t play a sport on Saturday to play on Tuesday. It is good because we have enough time to recover and we don’t have to travel. It could also be done at a better time than 21:30 because many people sleep at that time. I hope my players sleep tomorrow.”

Ancelotti on Fran García

“He has improved. He played more and almost always achieved a good performance. In some games I played Camavinga because of the different properties that they both have. Camavigna is more used to playing inside, and sometimes when you play with Vinicius on the outside, Fran has more problems to show its quality.”

Ancelotti about whether he likes to be the outsider against Barcelona

“Not so much, but that’s how it is. They seem to be better than we do, but a final is something unpredictable. To throw Real Madrid as an outsider in a final, it seems to me to be a bit exaggerated.”
